I played with the board game 'PIECE o'CAKE more whip!'
When cutting a round whole cake, it is easy to divide it into two or four equal parts, but when cutting it with an odd number or a prime number such as

◆ Photo review
The package is based on dark blue and has a delicious mango and strawberry cake.
It is a game with the theme of carving cakes, and there are various kinds of cakes other than the cakes drawn on the package.
The number of players is 2 to 5, the target age is 8 years old and over, and the play time is expected to be 20 minutes.
The contents are 57 cake tiles and a manual.
There are 8 types of cake tiles, 9 blueberries, 7 white peaches, 3 marrons, 10 strawberries, 11 chocolates, 8 matcha, 5 framboises, and 4 mangoes.
Realistic illustrations are drawn on the cake tiles as shown in the picture, and just looking at them seems to make you hungry. The number written on the cake tile indicates the number of cake tiles. For example, 10 strawberry cakes have '10' written on them.
The back side has a tart fabric-like design.
It is as thick as a 1-yen coin and has solid strength.
When 11 cake tiles are lined up, it becomes one hole.
◆ I played with 4 people
This time, I played the game with 4 editorial staff. First, shuffle the 57 cake tiles well and divide them into 5 bundles of 11 each.
The remaining two cards are excluded from the game while lying down.
Next, decide on one person to cut the cake. The player who became the carver chooses one bundle from the five bundles of cake tiles, flips one by one from the top, and arranges them clockwise. The picture of the cake is so real that some editorial staff say 'I'm hungry'.
After arranging the cakes, the carver will cut the cakes for the number of players. At least one cake tile is divided per player so that the cake tiles will be distributed, but since the carver will choose the cake at the end, it will be equal so that the cake you will choose will be profitable as much as possible. You have to carve it carefully.
When the carving is completed, take the cakes carved in order from the player to the left of the carving person.
Decide whether to 'eat' or 'keep' the cake you get. For cakes that you decide to 'eat', place the cake tiles face down.
When 'eating', the number of whips drawn on the cake tile will be the player's score. Eat cake tiles should not be turned face up until the end of the game.
Leave the cake that you decide to 'keep' face up so that other players can see the type and number of cakes.
For cake tiles that you decide to 'keep', you can get the number of points written on the tip of the cake tile. However, only the player with the most cake tiles can earn points. For example, if you have 11 chocolate cakes, only the player with the most chocolate cake tiles will get 11 points.
Most of the editorial staff chose 'Save' at the beginning because 'Save' has higher points to be earned at the end of the game than 'Eat'.
When each player picks up the cake and decides to 'eat' or 'keep it', the player to the left of the carving clerk becomes a new carving clerk, and again selects a bunch of cakes and arranges them in a hall shape. Repeat this procedure for 5 bundles, add up the points of the cake that you 'eat' and the cake that you 'keep' at the end of the game, and the player with the highest score will be the winner.
At first, the editorial staff, who was licking 'Isn't it okay to divide the cake into four?', Faced the cake with a painful expression when he became a carver. The key point is how to get the cake you want without giving the enemy an advantage, but it is very difficult to achieve both.
While everyone struggled with how to cut the cake, a runaway carver broke into 8: 1: 1: 1.
Of course, the left side of the carving clerk will cover 8 sheets. If you have children or beginners among the players, it may be a good idea to do this as a handicap.
If you can carefully observe the cakes of all the players and find a cake that no one has collected, you can also select 'Save' at the end of the game to score points with just one cake tile.
So, the editorial staff who ate cakes with a high tendency to 'keep' and steadily collected cakes with a low tendency to 'keep' earned high scores and won 40 points. rice field.
Perhaps because of the shape of the cake tiles, it was very difficult to mix with the
It is recommended
A hall with three or more of the same cake may be completed. The carver was very worried about how to carve the strawberry cake, which would be a high score if collected by 'keeping', so as not to distribute it to other players. It may be interesting to play without mixing the cake tiles, which can be a spice for the game.
For example, I tried to cut it like this.
The editorial staff who chooses the cake first. We collect matcha, blueberries, and chocolates, so it looks like they're all good ...
Looking around, I'm losing to the enemy in terms of the number of chocolates and blueberries, so I either take a cake with two chocolates and increase matcha, or take a cake with two blueberries and have white peaches. It was a very annoying choice to disturb the player.
Before playing 'PIECE o'CAKE more whip!', I was wondering 'Is it a game just by dividing the cake into equal parts?', But when I actually played it, it was big in a good way. The result was betrayal. In particular, the fact that the carver chooses the cake at the end is the point that creates a big bargain in play. Although it is a simple rule, the psychological battle of how to leave the cake you want to take and how to make the opponent take the cake that is the decoy has become a highly complete game that makes it difficult to think of a winning method. rice field.
There are many scenes where the game is exciting, such as when arranging, carving, and selecting cakes, and the luck factor is high, so it is also a feature that it is difficult to make a difference between advanced players and beginners. Also, since there are no obstacles to the opponent player, it was a game that could be enjoyed and peacefully played with anyone. However, from the editorial staff who actually played, 'Because there are three or more players, a peaceful atmosphere is created, and if you play one-on-one, a terrible strategy reading and a murderous battle will start ...?' There was also an opinion.
